Influence of Rheological Properties of a Soil Layer Adjacent to the Working Body Cutting Element on the Mechanism of Soil Cultivation

Abstract

On the basis of rheological characteristics, stress fields and deformations, new methods of improving the mechanism of soil cultivation are substantiated in this article. The mechanism of soil destruction is observed. Paper investigates the process of changing the stressed-deformed state of the soil under the influence of the working body. To study the viscoelastic properties of black earth soil, the method of amplitude sweeping with a measuring system of parallel high planes was applied using a modular rheometer MCR-302 (Anton Paar, Austria). Range of linear viscoelasticity of virgin soil was found to reach 0.1% deformation; range of linear viscoelasticity of cultivated field area is smaller by an order of magnitude – to 0.02% deformation. Structure destruction (the point of equality of modules) of virgin soil occurs at 20% deformation; structure of long steam soil destructs at 8% deformation. Technique of measuring the isobar zones distribution in horizontal and vertical planes by means of special strain gauges of the LPX 5000 model was developed. To reproduce the force pattern of the working bodies’ effect on soil environment, the measuring complex MIC 400D is used; stress-strain state of the soil is defined.

Design of mated parts using polymeric materials with enhanced tribotechnical characteristics

“…Paper [3] describes the peculiarities of plastics when used as a material for shafts and gears; however, there remains an issue of selecting this type of material for the dusty modes of operation of mated parts. Operational conditions of agricultural production are harsh for classical metal materials, as indicated in work [4], therefore, as regards the materials for movable mated parts, one needs detailed information about their tribological effectiveness.…”

Analysis of tribological efficiency of movable junctions "polymeric­composite materials ‒ steel"

“…However, the authors failed to describe the wear mechanism of a given coating in the presence of free abrasive particles. The low values for a friction coefficient were detected when determining the influence of the matrix with a content of 10 % of aramid fibers on the tribological properties of composites [21]. In addition to the specified data, it would be desirable to undertake a research involving the samples of steel under a dry friction mode.…”

“…This is due to insufficient quantity of research into colloidal friction products of friction of lubricating media, as the friction process has a significant number of processes of thermal, electromagnetic and contact-power nature, influencing the destruction of colloid particles of additives. It is therefore possible to draw a parallel with the studied model of destruction of surface layers [12]. It is also necessary to specify viscous and lubricating characteristics of oil.…”
